From my readings, putting things on to St. Augustine to control Take-all, such as peat moss, which will increase it's acidity to a 6 -7 level is beneficial to eliminating this stuff.
Thus, my question - will spreading coffee grounds on top of the damaged areas, will that aid significantly in wiping out this fungus - since coffee grounds tend to be aciditic?? If so, at what rate do I apply?
Or would it be better to make a coffee tea and sprinkle it over the areas with a watering can?
I am looking for methods and materials that the most economical (free), yet is effective. I can get all the coffee grounds that I need from Starbucks. There are several within 3 to 4 miles of me that I visit each day. BTW, it is not just a store by store policy as to whether they give out the free coffee grounds - it is Company Policy that each store has to offer this as a service. You can go in and just ask, you do not have to buy anything. Often you have 'ask' if they have any available because the 'free coffee ground' bins that they have in each store are empty and they have not had time to refill them. Suggestion: it is Best to go ask when it is Not the 'busy' time of day for them - early morning, noon, or getting off work crowd.
